15 month old with severe cough
My little boy joined nursery about 4 months ago and has had persistent colds and bugs, this has left him with a permanent cough that is worse at night, particularly around 5am. It is a loose cough although slightly dry at night and he wretches when coughing and it wakes him up. His nose runs during the day constantly and he is very tired. He also has very soft stools all the time not sure if this is connected?His breath also smells bad almost fishy, I have taken him to the doctor but they just say there is nothing wrong and it will go away. Can anyone suggest anything, I have tried drosera but this did not work, so just about to try calc carb as he has been prescribed this before.
Thank you.

he prefers to be inside.
he has an irritable disposition if tired but generally very happy with relatives and friends, although very clingy towards his Mum and very itrritable towards her.
He uses to wake up really happy, he is now very miserable. He is very irritable also in the afternoons, although just before he goes to bed he becomes very lively and happy.
He has had phleghm problems since he was born and has a tendency to eczema, so perhaps spleen weakness plus going to nursery and a weakened immune system. Although I think it got worse around Christmas when he caught a virus that went to his chest.
He is extremeley thirsty for cold drinks which is unusual, usually water, he is less interested in food and in his milk which is warm.
He likes to move around for most of the day.

Please give him three doses of Nux Vomica 200c at a gap of 4 hours for only one day (not daily) and see how that affects him in the next 15 days.
What is one dose for an infant?

Please add some 2-3 drops of the liquid dilution to some 100 ml water. Please give 1 tsp water as one dose. Please throw away the remaining water after giving three doses.
